Shooting a bull when it's 90 degrees outside is a lot of work. I've been hunting close to home for the most part with the occasional excursion to the greatest unit. Seeing more than a few elk. Until today, i had my standards pretty high and passed up maybe 20 spikes and small bulls. The area I liked themost got hit hard by a couple of professional hunters and you may have seen the bulls they took on ig or Facebook. That being said my normal area was devoid of elk the last couple of days. Mostly from insomnia and little from curiosity I went to the greatest unit ever this morning with determination of shooting the first branch bull I see. My dog gave me a guilt trip so he came along for the ride. We get to our spot maybe 30 minutes after first light and start walking. 10 or twenty minutes after leaving the truck I spot a calf and few other non bulls. We get closer and for the first time ever my dog is not growling at rocks he's picking fights with. Then all of sudden an antlered bull sticks his head out for a moment 65 yards away and disappears just as quickly. I wait maybe 10 minutes, maybe 20 minutes, honestly idk, he comes out broadside at 60 yards. I am shooting a 1948 marlin off handed that I picked up from cwt member. (Apologies I forgot your handle) My first shot, no reaction, second shot no reaction, chambering of third shot he starts to cantor off and I go full.john Wayne shooting everything he's in an opening. I go to where my first 3 shots were and I find blood instantly. The herd climbs the hill opposite of me without my target in tow. i start following the blood trail thinking hes within a few dozen yards. Not the case, at all , I follow and the blood trail actually gets bigger for once. After an unknown distance and time, I catch up. He stumbles up and I put two more rounds into him, one behind the shoulder and the ending shot in the neck. I think this is my 10th elk and first with a rifle.

Got back from an overnight 6 pack trip on the Cobalt out of Fisherman's landing. Slow start, finished strong. All BFT 10 to 40 lbs. Crew did a great job again!

Story to follow, I'm still packing out

I did run into this demon.

I remember when he won that boat. RIP Harold Chi Chi Chavez. He was a outstanding guy and one of the best jack pot fisherman at Roosevelt ever. Also one heck of a Hunter. His grand son is my neighbor up here. Good luck with the sell, that boat has won a lot of money.

Used to be a fantastic Mexican restaurant there, but that was almost 40 years ago…. So, you’re most likely spot on..

I was also checking them out. Here's a review I just came across. https://youtu.be/E8Yn3lXUncw

I saw something leave and this little guy come down from the tree he was maybe 3 foot uo in. He got tired and lied down 20 yards from me. I only stayed a few minutes maybe. I have already had dealings with a rabid bobcat. Don't want to do it again.

Yep, Clay was right on 12 months for me.

Something good Something in globe You can only Pick one

Sweet Ruger. Would love to have one.

Oh I so wish it was chambered in 480 as stated above good price on this one and a heck of a pack gun.

Nice piece...more than fair price too! GLWS.

It seems like the truly professional, organized guys have less than 18 months turns. If you think about it, if their delay is longer than that, they have either experienced a major operations problem, of they are taking in too much work. Take it for what its worth, but basically every full-time taxidermist that I have visited that has more than a 20 month turn time ALSO has a shop that looks disorganized, dirty, and is not managing their inflow and outflow well, and I usually don't like the look of their work anyway. Sounds harsh but its what I've seen.

Same. A friend convinced me its worth the $10 and I've loved it ever since I got it.

Depends on the goat and conditioning. Roughly 30-40% of body weight is typical

Sirui VA-5 is what I reccomend for the price. Smaller light and no complaints so far. Have a manfrotto xpro and it’s nice but bulky and heavy. Also have the Bogpod head and it’s not very good.
